[quote=Anonymous]I got my current position through usajobs. It is not a total waste of time BUT if you want to make the best use of your time, apply only for the positions where you really are a good fit, and do spend time on tailoring your resume for those ones. Make sure that your resume clearly shows that you meet all of the qualifications and contains any information required by the job posting. The resumes are screened by HR before they go to the hiring office and if HR does not find you qualified, your resume goes no further. So it is in your interest to make it easy for HR to see that you meet all the qualifications. Also be aware that some positions that are posted are not funded/approved yet, and if that does not come through then they cannot hire. Anecdotally, there are also some postings where the agency already knows who they want to hire but is required to post. These two circumstances account for a lot of the frustration you will hear about usajobs. [/quote]
